5:45 PM - 6:45 PM
In the pool of women in physics community, there exist lost talent as a result of lack of guidance and knowledge. This is due to the status of women in many developing world communities. The GBV term also adds to all other topics that affects women in physics from achieving great height at early career times. Discussing with many retired women from academia, there is a cry for mentoring and support. Our desire as experienced women in physics are to have young women in physics achieving professorship at early career ladder and eventually win prizes of excellence, even towards Nobel awards. This lecture is about supporting our daughters, girls, young and older women in Physics to realize their potential.

A Deeper Understanding of Our Universe from Far Underground

5:45 PM - 6:45 PM
Prof. Art McDonald, Gray Chair, Emeritus, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada By going deep underground and creating ultra-clean conditions it is possible to produce the lowest radioactivity laboratory in the world. There we can address very fundamental questions about our Universe: How does the Sun burn? What are the abundant dark matter particles in the spaces between the stars? What are the properties of neutrinos, elusive particles that are one of the fundamental building blocks of nature? How do these particles influence how our Universe evolves? Experiments addressing these questions are taking place at underground labs internationally and will be described.

Enabling capacity development in physics in Africa through science, technology, and innovation policy and governance
- Azwinndini Muronga (Nelson Mandela University, South Africa)
5:45 PM - 6:45 PM
Science, and physics in particular has increasingly become a global enterprise. This phenomena of the movement of scientists beyond sovereignty is accelerating. This is partly because science, by its nature, resists to be confined in boundaries. Even within the confined boundaries science needs enabling environment for creativity. No one nation can afford to do big science alone. For Africa’s physics community to actively participate in the international science landscape and to contribute positively to the continent’s sustainable development, governments should make enabling and supportive STI policies. In this public lecture we will discuss STI policy in relation to capacity building in physics in Africa.

To maximize the technology transfer potential, it is important to create an ecosystem for the scientists/engineers/inventors to adapt the technologies developed for basic science to successful commercial ventures. In the Snowmass process we reviewed technology transfer programs at high energy physics (HEP) laboratories across the world. I will present the opportunities that we identified and the recommendations for increasing partnerships and commercialization at HEP-centric laboratories.
